Why Not The Competition?

FRANCHISED DEALERS

Franchised dealers have received quite a makeover in recent years. Gone are the sales people in gold jewellery and sheepskin jackets (although if you really miss these people see Independent Dealer below). Gone are sales managers who will try every trick in the book to keep you in their showrooms.

These days franchised dealers have huge, beautiful looking, glass palaces, with soothing music and comfy sofa’s. And huge, massive overheads to go with them.

Guess who those costs get passed onto?

There is simply no way that a franchised dealer, with their huge overheads, can compete with DC Cook Direct and its low overheads.

Our aim is to bring the cost of buying a car down.

CAR SUPERMARKETS

Most car supermarkets do provide a large choice of new and used cars for you to browse at your leisure.

However, many take advantage of the fact that so many cars creates the illusion that they are all cheap, and actually make their cars more expensive than elsewhere.

Make sure you check their prices and finance deals against DC Cook Direct before you buy.

In addition, most car supermarkets are interested in one thing and one thing only – selling you a car. They do not care what happens once you’ve taken delivery; if you do experience any problems they just don’t want to know.

That’s fine if you don’t want any back up if your car develops a fault. But if you’re like most people and would like to be able to speak to someone if you do experience any problems, then make sure you buy from DC Cook Direct .

ONLINE CAR DEALERS

Many online car dealers provide a good choice of used cars and the idea of buying online can be a tempting one.

But how much do you know about these companies?

Once you’ve ordered you’ll want to be able to contact that company to get an update on your order – do they have a call centre set up for this very purpose like DC Cook Direct does?

How long have they been around? Do they have over 40 years history, experience and expertise like DC Cook Direct does?

Make sure you’re comfortable before buying – if you’re not, choose DC Cook Direct instead.

CAR BROKERS

Car brokers purport to find you the best deal on the car you want and put you in touch with who sells it – usually a franchised dealer.

But think – that broker is going to want a cut of the sale adding even more cost to the price of a vehicle than the franchised dealer already has (see above). Check those prices against DC Cook Direct before you buy – you might regret it if you don’t.

Also, whilst we at DC Cook Direct are trying to make car buying easier, Brokers are adding somebody else to the process – do is it really need to be so complicated?

INDEPENDENT DEALERS

When franchised dealers were having those makeovers, some of the bejewelled sales people escaped and landed here – independent dealers.

If you fancy a bit of wheeling and dealing and you don’t being told “sorry – you bought it as you saw it” when your car brakes down a few yards down the road, then independent dealers are for you.
